Modding Questions

So if you wanted to make a creature that wound down in the same fashion as Clockwork Horrors, how would you do that?

There doesn't seem to be a "wind down" ability to give out, would giving a...

Re: Infantry Balance Mod

BTW, if you really want a Soul Slay effect that only works once per battle, couldn't you just make an additional attack that had a very negative "#ratt" value? It could do zero damage and have an...

Re: How to use Golems?

Since the attack and defense dice are open ended, there is always going to be a 16.7% chance that any die is going to be a +5 with an additional d6 added on. So it takes some serious cojones to get...

Re: How to use Golems?

The Golem is Lifeless. How does the Banelord/Devil fatigue him with Lifedraining?

Re: How to use Golems?

Rlyeh usually has little difficulty making a staff of elemental power and even less making a ring of wizardry.

It is a major pain in the *** that Earth bonuses are so hard to get. The fact that...

Re: How to use Golems?

Note that Golems are not amphibious, so two of the biggest Golem users (Atlantis and Rlyeh) can't put returning effects on them under any circumstances.

A Golem with a Hellsword, a Ring of the...

Re: Infantry Balance Mod

This series of changes does a lot to Ulm, but a lot of it seems really counterproductive. The fact that various units have Cold, Fire, or Shock resistance is a nice trick, but since it's not...

Re: I can\'t seem get Vanheim to work. Need some he

Yes. Yes you do.

Let's assume for the moment a dominion score of 6 (the minimum needed to keep a Ceremonial Faith Man from just Preaching you off the map), and Fire 9, and Water 9.

That costs a...

Re: I can\'t seem get Vanheim to work. Need some he

I actually think the best Sacred Troops are Marignon's Flagellants. Back those guys up with Fire 9/ Astral 9 as the big giant head, and your scales can actuall be vaguely OK while you pump out vast...

Re: Noob+Man/Tuatha

Well... the Tuathans can cast spells like Mist Form and Barkskin on themselves, so they can aspire to being limited SCs. Fundamentally, I'm just not impressed with a SC base that has 15 hit points,...

Re: Looking for help from all the Pros!

It really depends upon what you want your God to do.

But one thing you don't want your god to do is to bother with Nature or Death magic, you've got that sown up pretty well with your Pans. So...

Re: Hell sword vs Wraith sword vs Blood thorn

I consider Pangea to be Carrion Woods by default, their Pans have 3 Nature and 2 Death.

Re: Hell sword vs Wraith sword vs Blood thorn

Pangea cannot make Totem Shields except with its god, and even then only if it alchemizes or finds some astral pearls.



It's half. The size. Of the Weightless Shield.

That's bad.

Re: Hell sword vs Wraith sword vs Blood thorn

Yeppers, Regeneration kicks Luck hard when it comes to beating battle afflictions. Of course, Luck applies against Soul Slay and Regeneration does not.

As for a Pangean build, sure. Pangea has...

Re: Hell sword vs Wraith sword vs Blood thorn

That's a needlessly confrontational way to state that opinion.

First of all, the question wasn't "what's the most awesome build", it was "what can you make on an extremely limited budget of gems"....

Re: Hell sword vs Wraith sword vs Blood thorn

The amulet of the wolf has a small chance of transforming your super combatant into a werewolf. That's bad. Not because it gets big and hairy, bu because it gets so small and hairy.

Re: The Dominions 3: \"Wishlist\"

One thing to remember about better graphics is that a modder making new units will have to keep the newly required graphics up to par.

A text only game is easy to add units to, you just write a...

Re: New Map for Dom2 : Land of Shahrivar

Since all the other provinces are worth 2, there is no possibility of anyone getting 15 unless they have the sunken city. Essentially, since there are no 1 point or 3 point provinces, the sunken city...

Re: New Map for Dom2 : Land of Shahrivar

This may come off as a little bit unobservant, but I honestly can't figure out why the central lake is worth 7 victory points instead of 6.

You win when you get 16, and every other province...

Re: mobile domes?

I think troops shouldn't cost upkeep on the turns they don't fight or participate in seige defense/attack. Possibly they shouldn't cost upkeep at all under any circumstances (other than food).

What exactly is the problem there?

If you spend 1000+ gold on a pile of 100 soldiers, and some jerk comes out with 60 gems on Murdering Winter, you lose about half your troops and he spent 60...
